For those in the know, AU is THE University to find a girl in the DC area worth dating. While Georgetown students are busy popping their pink collars, GW students are busy paying for an overpriced education, and Catholic students are busy being Catholic, American University is an absolute goldmine for intelligent girls (or men, if you swing that way). For people that actually want to make a difference and not just ride Daddy's coattails to a soul-sucking Legal/Medical profession, AU is where it's at.

G-town girl in a bar: "I'm drinkish beer wit' a straw. You're cute!"
Me:"I can't wait for the American University girls to show up."

A college in North-West Washington, DC. Known for its excessive political vibe. Students here like to:

1.) Go to TDR and complain how much they hate it, yet continue to go there.

2.) Drunkenly order food from Cafe Romeo's, any chinese food (for some reason all the chinese food in DC tastes the same), or if it's a weekday go to the Eagles Nest (Which is always blaring the best music with its workers and customers dancing).

3.) Complain about how much they hate the library.

4.)Girls like to complain about how all the good guys are gay.

5.) Guys like to complain about how all the girls are ugly.

6.) Smoke shit loads of cigarettes in LA quad.

7.) Talk endlessly about shit that doesn't matter, while alienating people that have no interest in their conversation.

8.) Live in the berks, which is like the dorms, except the dorms are nicer.

A college of about 6,000 undergrads in NW Washington, DC. American is consistently ranked in the Top 100 Colleges in the United States (currently #85 by U.S. News & World Report). It has students from all 50 states and 140 countries. Besides George Washington University it is the only university in America chartered by an act of Congress. You won't get your typical "college" experience here, as many students are off campus and involved in outside jobs, internships, etc. in the District of Columbia. American sports a small, though charming and beautiful, campus. Some of the students can be stuck up and talk about how they "got into Harvard, Georgetown, and Columbia, but got a full ride at AU", but overall most of the kids are down to Earth and friendly. Most everyone's politically active/knowledgable, and campus life is generally stimulating. It's a dry campus though, and the RA's/Campus Security can get God-complexes sometimes, so take a shuttle/10 minute walk to the metro and go to Adams Morgan or Georgetown on weekends. Generally though a pretty chill place to go to school.

"Dude did you know Goldie Hawn lost her virginity at American University?"
"Wait, what?!"

"Why does AU campus security have segways now?"
"I dunno, but I mean they're already packing it on, what good is obese security?"

A Good school where kids go to clubs on tuedays and thursdays and frats on fri and sat. The campus is technicly dry but actully is nowhere close. Full bars and drugs all over in dorms. Great party school in the most powerfull city in the world.

AU STUDENT "Hey AU, can I set up a lemonade stand outside MGC since its such a hot day?
AU ADMIN "Sorry kid, American University doesn't let students do anything unless you fill out these 35 forms and get the signatures of every government official in our administration. We'll probably get back to you in 5 months with our response. In the meantime, just go to TDR and drink some of our all natural watered down minute-maid lemonade."
